API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks contract

In the actual welding of API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks, operators will use more arc-shaped plates for tailor-welding to better adapt to the larger volume of oil storage tanks. In order to effectively control the deformation of the welding seam of the API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks, a scientific and accurate prefabricated bottom plate is required. In the process of prefabricating the bottom plate of the oil storage tank, it is necessary to strictly follow the technical requirements for the construction of the oil storage tank. At the same time, it is also necessary to clarify the external dimensions according to its actual manufacturing standards so that it has sufficient shrinkage.

Foundations and subgrade shall safely carry the weight of the tank API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks and its contents when the tank is filled with water to the highest level required for a hydrostatic test or other water-loading operations, even though the tank itself may be designed for some lesser density of liquid. However, in cases where the character of the soil justifies it and a competent soil expert advises it, allowance may be made for the relatively short duration and intermittent nature of the water loadings if suitable account is taken of all such loadings that may be expected to occur during the life of the tank, including not only those loadings that are incidental to periodic repetitions of the hydrostatic test in accordance with 7.18 but also water-filling operations for gas-freeing purposes.

All edges of the inner wall of the API 650 petroleum storage tank to be lined or coated must be rounded and flat to a minimum radius of 3mm. The API standard 650 welded steel oil storage tanks internal welding seam must be completely sealed welding, with a smooth surface and no air holes, air pockets and local protrusions. Remove welding spatter. As specified in API 650 petroleum storage tank design drawings, the seller must perform additional surface treatment.
